Hello Everyone!
Another week over and hasn’t the weather been miserable. Where has the sunshine gone? This week I will be welcoming some of you into our ‘bubble’. I am looking forward to being back in school, getting back into a routine and of course being back with you all. Don’t worry if you’re not coming into school, we will still be setting home learning tasks for you. Those of you in school will have time to complete the work whilst in the classroom.
I’ve included some anatomy work this week for your science and art – one of my favourite subjects!
If anyone would like to do some extra reading, Epic has some books https://www.getepic.com/students
using the class code: tin9513. You will notice there is no First News this week. This is purely because the file size is too big to upload to the website. If you would like me to send you a copy, just drop us an email and I will get that sorted out.
Just for a bit of fun, you will find a little quiz for you to do with your families. Answers will be released next week.
I love seeing your photos of what you have been doing so please keep sending them. They really
brighten up my day. I’ve had some lovely Kandinsky artwork photos this week from Pippa.
As always, if you have any problems. questions or need help, send school an email and I will do what I can to help you.
Missing you all Keep safe.

The ruins of Olympia: where it all began…
But the Olympics aren’t a modern invention. They actually began thousands of years ago, in a place called Olympia in Ancient Greece. Sportsmen came from across Greece and from the other countries that Greece ruled at the time.
Earthquakes in the 3rd century AD destroyed most of the site of Olympia and the Games came to an end. It wasn’t until 1896 that the Games officially started again. We call these the ‘modern Olympics’.
Did you know?
The Olympic Games is the biggest sporting event in the world! The Games take place every four years, in a different city each time. Over 10,000 athletes, from more than 200 countries, take part in almost 400 different events.

The modern Olympic movement is inspired by the ancient Games. This movement of people aims to build a ‘peaceful and better world’ through sport.
The modern Olympics
In 2016 the Olympics will be held in Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil. With its world-famous beaches, beautiful bays and carnival processions, Rio will be a spectacular host for the Games.
There were lots of sports that we’d recognise today, such as boxing, wrestling and horse-racing – but many of them were a lot rougher than they are today! There were some big differences, though. All the competitors were men and they didn’t wear clothes to take part.
On your marks, get set, go – it’s Rio in 2016
The ancient site of Olympia is in Greece
New world records are set during every Olympics. In 2012, 32 world records were broken! The Olympic Committee makes sure that everyone ‘plays fair’. There are regular tests to make sure that athletes aren’t using unfair drugs.
It’s ancient history!
Feeling sporty?
The Olympic symbol shows five interlocking rings. Each ring represents one of the inhabited ‘five continents’ (the Americas are counted as a single continent according to the International Olympic Committee).

Rituals and ceremonies
In Ancient Greece, a burning torch would be passed from one runner to the next in a relay, with the winner lighting a fire on an altar.
The opening and closing ceremonies are also important parts of the Games. And of course, everyone likes to watch the medals being awarded: gold, silver and bronze. In Ancient Greece, the winners would have wreaths placed on their heads.

The Paralympic Games are for athletes with disabilities. There are events ranging from archery to wheelchair tennis. The Paralympics first started in 1948, with injured soldiers from the Second World War.
Since 1960, the Paralympics have been held during the official Olympic Games. They’re now a vital part of the Games: more than 4,000 athletes took part in 2012.

The Winter Olympics
The Winter Olympics are also held every four years, in between the main Olympic Games. These Olympics are for sports that need a very cold climate, like ice-skating, ski-jumping, ice-hockey and bobsleigh.

The ruins of Olympia: where it all began…
But the Olympics aren’t a modern invention. They actually began thousands of years ago, in a place called Olympia in Ancient Greece. These ancient games were taken very seriously – wars were put ‘on hold’ so that everyone could travel safely to and from the competition. Sportsmen came from across Greece and from the other countries that Greece ruled at the time.
Earthquakes in the 3rd century AD destroyed most of the site of Olympia and the Games came to an end. It wasn’t until 1896 that the Games officially started again. We call these the ‘modern Olympics’.

The Olympic Games is the biggest sporting event in the world! The Games take place every four years, in a different city each time. Over 10,000 athletes, from more than 200 countries, take part in almost 400 different events. About 800,000 people came to watch the London Games in 2012, with millions more viewing it on television.

The modern Olympic movement is inspired by the ancient Games. This movement of people aims to build a ‘peaceful and better world’ through sport. The Olympic symbol shows five interlocking rings. Each ring represents one of the inhabited ‘five continents’ (the Americas are counted as a single continent according to the International Olympic Committee). The Olympic ideal is ‘not to win, but to take part’; the Olympic values are ‘friendship, respect and excellence.’
The modern Olympics
In 2016 the Olympics will be held in Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil. With its world-famous beaches, beautiful bays and carnival processions, Rio will be a spectacular host for the Games. Then, in 2020, the Olympics moves on to Tokyo.
There were lots of sports that we’d recognise today, such as boxing, wrestling and horse-racing – but many of them were a lot rougher than they are today! There was also running, long jump and javelin. There were some big differences, though. All the competitors were men: married women weren’t even allowed to watch the games! Also, the men didn’t wear clothes to take part.
The Olympics continue to grow and change, with new sports being included. In 2016 there will be a new kind of rugby and golf.

1. How often do the Olympic Games take place?
The Olympics
The Olympic Games take place in the summer every four years. Two years after a Summer Olympics, the Winter Games are held - so there's an Olympic event every two years.
Olympia is located in southern Greece - it is found in the Peloponnese, a peninsula that is separated from the central part of the country by the Gulf of Corinth.
Yes and no. The Olympic rings do represent all people on the 'five' inhabited continents (the Americas are counted as a single continent) but, Antarctica isn't represented. However no-one lives there all the time!
The Paralympics is an international sporting event (scheduled for just after the Olympics), in which athletes with disabilities compete.
They are important because they give people with disabilities a chance to compete using the same fabulous facilities, e.g. purpose-built stadia, as able-bodied athletes and the international media coverage recognises the achievements of these inspiring athletes - the Paralympics show the world that people with disabilities can do amazing things!

Answer may vary, might include: boxing, wrestling and horse-racing.
Answers will vary, but might include:
The modern day Olympics are inspired by the ancient Greek Games.
a lot of the sports, ceremonies and rituals that form part of the Games today were practiced in a similar way in ancient Greece, such as the torch relay.
Athletes might take unfair drugs because they really want to win and they think the drugs could help. They might be under a lot of pressure to do well (everyone at home is cheering them on) and so, unfortunately, some people choose to take risks with their health. It's a shame!
Based on the bar graph, the number of athletes taking part in the Paralympics will increase because this has been the trend so far since 1960 - 2012. Between the 1980 and 2000 Games, the number of athletes almost doubled.
